Latentbot Is the Next Step in Evolution for Stealthy Backdoors

A stealthy new backdoor was detected by FireEye's Dynamic Threat Intelligence (DTI) team, one that takes great care to hide its tracks and stay hidden on infected systems, like no other malware before it.

Codenamed LATENTBOT, security researchers are reporting that this particular piece of malware has infected computers in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, South Korea, Singapore, Canada, Peru, Poland, Brazil, and the United Arab Emirates.

There's no specific aim for these campaigns, and LATENTBOT has been seen active on computers from different industry sectors.
